dismissed EB-2 NIW Case: Law
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, an attorney providing legal services to low-income immigrants, failed to establish eligibility for a National Interest Waiver (NIW). The AAO concluded that while the petitioner's work had merit, it did not benefit the country on a national scale as required for the waiver. Without a labor certification or a successful NIW claim, the petition could not be approved.
